With the exponential growth of this field, with many groups pursuing dendrimer research all over the globe, researchers felt the need for a dedicated international symposium to bring multidisciplinary groups working with dendrimers together and discuss their research. The symposia focused on the scientific research, latest developments in technology, synthesis, characterization and applications. The meeting provides for limited parallel sessions with sufficient breaks and social gatherings to provide for collaborative networking opportunities.
Research into using structures called dendrimers to deliver photoactive materials into cancer cells could yield new approaches for therapy and diagnosis
